£24,999 Compensation for Our Client who was rejected by national firm of Solicitors
Case Study
The Gold Ones
National firm said “insufficient prospects”
We settled for £24,999
What Happened
Mr Bailey was at work carrying a heavy piece of steel when he slipped. He landed face first on the steel, knocking out a number of his teeth.
Straight after the accident, he contacted a national firm of solicitors for help.
13 months later…
“His solicitors rejected his claim, saying there were insufficient prospects of success, then closed his file.”
Frustrated and feeling let down, Mr Bailey went online searching for a second opinion. He found us.
What We Did Differently
“I spoke with Mr Bailey at length and told him that despite what his previous solicitors had advised, I thought his case did have prospects of success.”
— David Healey, Senior Solicitor
David agreed to take the claim on and got to work:
Retrieved the file from the previous solicitors and reviewed every detail they’d missed.
Contacted the employer’s insurance and immediately uncovered crucial new evidence they’d overlooked.
Obtained expert dental evidence to support Mr Bailey’s claim properly.
Sued the employer when they continued denying blame.
The Result
£24,999
We sued the employer in April 2017. They instructed a solicitor who robustly maintained their denial.
We pressed ahead with court proceedings. Suddenly, the defendant’s solicitor seemed keen to talk.
After negotiations in July 2017, we received a substantial five-figure offer. Mr Bailey was delighted to accept.

Been rejected by another solicitor?
If your solicitor has told you there are “insufficient prospects” or decided your case is too risky, don’t give up.
Mr Bailey’s story isn’t unusual. We’ve helped hundreds of clients whose claims were rejected elsewhere.
Why do other firms reject claims we win?
Large firms handle thousands of cases. If yours looks complicated, it’s often easier for them to close the file and move on.
We’re a two-solicitor firm. We have the time to look deeper, find what others miss, and fight harder for your result.
Think you have a case?
Let’s have a conversation. No pressure. No obligation.
